yea, I'm hoping for a take-out from someone who didn't like the chatter.

Looking for a lightweight flywheel for an R53. I'm putting a getrag 6speed in my R50 and want a lighter flywheel than the stock S dual mass or Valeo flywheel. Don't want to shell out for new.
We can't help with a used flywheel, but you might check the marketplace section in the forum pages at www.northamericanmotoring.com.

Be aware that adding the lightweight flywheel in the Gen1 R53 will increase the gearbox noise when sitting at idle with the clutch released.  It will sound like you have 'loose marbles' in the gearbox and the sound is noticeable to most users.  If you are looking for a quiet ride, it is not recommend.  However if you can accept the noise for a slight improvement in performance, by all means go for it!
